Thanks Caram. Some sample code and steps to reproduce this would be helpful. Also, sample output showing this happening with the same datastore, e.g., with a specific ID, may be useful.

Anyway, since both of these can be nil, is it possible you're somehow just catching this before it was propagated to both places? When is this happening? I.e., when are you catching it in the debugger (per your above output)?
